Grain boundary segregation of light elements and their effects on cohesion in ferritic steels
Han Lin Mai, Xiang-Yuan Cui, Tilmann Hickel +2
Light elements play an important role in influencing the macroscale properties of engineering alloys through grain boundary (GB) segregation phenomena. However, the scarcity and sc…

A high-throughput ab initio study of elemental segregation and cohesion at ferritic-iron grain boundaries
Han Lin Mai, Xiang-Yuan Cui, Tilmann Hickel +2
Segregation of alloying elements and impurities at grain boundaries (GBs) critically influences material behavior by affecting cohesion. In this study, we present an ab initio high…
